| Origin of Maverick
From the "Origin of Words:" Samuel Maverick owned a cattle
ranch on an island in Texas. All the ranchers in Texas branded their cattle
to distinguish them from the other ranches. Since Samuel owned all the cattle
on the island, he refused to brand them--a Maverick became known as an unbranded
calf. Webster defines maverick as "Being independent in thought and
action or exhibiting such independence." The Mavericks were born. Other
Mavericks include the Western TV series and movie, "Maverick;"
Olympic supplier of Maverick beef, sold at Publix; the most notorious big-wave
break in the world, Mavericks, offshore, near San Francisco; and our first
Christmas card from a Maverick, "We dance to the beat of a different
drummer."
